APPENDIX. 



Notes. 



1 — Shortly after the description of Thyce blaisdelli (ante, p. 19) 

 had been printed, I received a large series from Dr. Blaisdell, in- 

 cluding numerous males and two females. The latter sex is nearly 

 similar in form and size to the male, but has the prothorax some- 

 what smaller, the entire upper surface. of the body being clothed 

 sparsely with extremely short fine recumbent hairs ; the fourth 

 joint of the maxillary palpi is about twice as long as wide, deeply, 

 narrowly channeled throughout its length, and the antennal club is 

 about two-thirds as long as the stem ; the tubercle of the vertex is 

 large and rather feeble. The female referred to under the descrip- 

 tion of blaisdelli, does not belong to this species but to another, the 

 male of which has probably not yet been discovered. 



2 — From specimens recently sent me by Mr. Champion, I find 

 that Blapstinus substriatus was correctly identified in my recent 

 revision of that genus. This species has therefore an exceptionally 

 extended distribution. 



3 — There is before me a good series of Palorus depressus Fab., 

 taken in Kansas. This European species is apparently thoroughly 

 acclimated in this country as well as Mexico, and should be inserted 

 in our lists.
